Man carrying umbrella that looked like sword arrested

RIDGEFIELD -- Police from four towns rushed here Monday morning to help local police deal with a report of a man carrying a rifle near a school.
Hours later they found the man -- who was carrying an umbrella that looked like a Samurai sword.

Police charged Wilfredo M. Seda, 22, with breach of peace.

He was "wearing all black clothing, a watch cap with a face mask looking like a beard," Capt. Thomas Comstock said. "Across his back was an umbrella but it had the outward appearance of a Samuri sword."

The man was reportedly seen with a rifle near the Branchville train station; Branchville Elementary School is near the station, but students were not yet inside the school when the report came in.
